Well, that was great fun but, like all followers of Christ, we are not grown or built, We Are Forged. Whether on the island of Guam, the streets of L.A., or a palace in Europe, we are all born into a world that would see us destroyed. Life in this world has brought me many adversaries, but thankfully One True ADVOCATE. Because of His faithful presence, every fire the world around me brings, He uses to forge a stronger and sharper follower ready to face the next fire, until the day when my Worship through Song will be at the base of His throne.
